OBSCURA founder Kummerer commented on the signing and new album; "We are very happy to have found in Relapse a strong partner for the upcoming albums. We think Relapse is one of the best homes for progressive death metal in general and we are looking forward for this long time cooperation. We are putting the final touches on the mix and mastering for the upcoming album which will see the light in the beginning of next year. Obscura are back - stronger than ever!"

OBSCURA have several festival shows lined up including a performance at the Beuken op Zondag Festival in the Netherlands this weekend. The band will also headline the Munich Deathfest on November 8th. Kummerer says the band will play exclusive new material during these festival appearances and are preparing for more touring in the new year.

Audio samples of demo material from the forthcoming album can be heard now via the band's MySpace page.
